Yes, read it earlier this week. It's set in the modern day. If you like 
Gibson's more recent psych-oriented work such as _Idoru_ and _All 
Tomorrow's Parties_, you'll probably like this. If you're looking for him 
to write another _Neuromancer_ you're going to be disappointed.

Oh, and tying back into a previous thread, Gibson recently started a 
weblog:

http://www.williamgibsonbooks.com/blog/blog.asp

The blog's a little boring currently as he's on a booksigning tour right 
now and he admitted he was having trouble maintaining an active and 
throughtful blog while traveling so much, but reading the first month or 
so of entries gives some interesting comments on his admitted influences 
and non-influences, writing Neuromancer, his thoughts about the Blade 
Runner and Matrix films, writing in general, etc. 

best,
Steve Burnett
